- Arthur Berger, Tallahassee, Florida
From a circular pedestrian plaza, three curved structures
rise. Each of the three structures is of a different height.
The tallest structure has the smallest footprint, and the
lowest structure has the largest footprint. Ideally, the positive
space consisting of the towers, and the negative space between
and above the towers (up to the height of the tallest structure)
would be equal symbolizing balance.
The plaza would consist of either a blossoming of the street
into the circular pedestrian plaza, or an elevated circular
pedestrian plaza one or more levels above the street. If elevated,
the pedestrian plaza would be of a translucent material and
would be illuminated from below.
The light from the floor of the pedestrian plaza would symbolize
those who went before us and contributed to making the city
a great cultural and economic center. Therefore, those walking
across the plaza, in the evening, would be touched by the
light of those who went before us. One street will pass through
an arch carved into the lowest of the three structures.
